re: gay marriage again

I was listening to a Swedish documentary on my ipod today when I was on my hike/extremely slow jog. For some reason a woman started talking about an autobiography she had read, by a German journalist who remembered Germany in the 1930s.

This German journalist had said that society did not change due to politics or political decisions. Germany had changed, he said, because people started treating each other differently. When people started hating each other, that's when things turned ugly, was his conclusion.

And that what scares me about Prop 8, and the fact that the civil rights of one group was put to a general vote. There is something very wrong about that.
